Indian cricket and 20-20

Indians were always the 20-20 champions way before anyone even dreamt up of this format. If you look at most of the regular 50 over matches, Indians do play like champions for the first 20 overs or so and then there is the great Indian collapse. And it leaves the ardent fans wishing, oh if only the matches were 20 overs only. And lo behold, now that the 20 over format is here, it is not surprising that the Indians actually did well. The reason is of course that they have have been playing this format all along their careers (and they just did not know it).
The other countries have some catch up to do.
